Description
The Shahsevan woman who made this magnificent salt-bag (namakdan) was without any doubt, at the very peak of her weaving ability. I can't say enough, how fantastic this bag is.Woven around 1900 by Shahsevan nomads in the Moghan region of Azerbaijan, the bag is complete and in fact, in near-mint condition. I would stab a guess and say it was a dowry weaving, highly-prized and probably hardly used - maybe kept in a boksche (wedding bag) until it was sold. The weaving, in soumak technique, is as fine as one is likely to find.
Size: 46cm x 46cm (1' 6" x 1'6").
